SEVERAL DIFFERENT ISSUES PERCOLATING IN NEW ALBANY

We decided to talk about several issues that have come up in the past couple of weeks.Rental Registration...What the hey is rental registration? The County Auditor can tell you which houses are rental properties (said so in the paper once people complete their homestead exemption papers). Township Assessor has a computer where you type in the address and up comes the owners of any and all properties you may be interested in. So why the bull crap? It's not like it's called rental inspection, huh? Isn't that what everyone was clamoring for? It's just another layer of government for England, more people to hire and more money from taxpayers. But, maybe those progressive type peoples don't understand the difference, who knows? That's right. We're stupid.Benedetti claiming the past due sewer bills can't be seen by the public nor the Council. Who is she kidding? Councilman Schmidt and Darlene McCoy (use to be Treasurer) kept a running tab along with the names and addresses in a shoe box and every month Bill took that shoe box in to the Treasurer and he and her marked off the ones paid. Benedetti said it would be too embarrassing. For who I wonder! These records are public and even we can put our hands on them. I, for one, think they ought to publish them in the paper; but as Wilkinson said you might be surprised at the names on there. Is he kidding, too? When someone does get their hands on them I bet you a dollar they get published on one blog or another.I hear someone is getting ready to publish all the big tax dodgers on property taxes. Now, that should read as a who who. I hope they go for it. We all know how bad Doug needs the revenue.All of the people who have been slamming Price and I'll be durned if the Council is actually agreeing with him now. Are the SOB's who have been slamming him for the worry he's had about the finances going to SLAM the whole Council now?Remember how some people got upset (me included) for them using the Fire Department to hang the Christmas lights downtown on PRIVATE BUSINESSES? They really thought we had something against the Fire Department. No, we knew the Fire Department DIDN'T HAVE THE GAS MONEY NOR THE PAYROLL FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS to be able to do this. Guess we were right. Those big ladder trucks they have to keep the engine going to get that ladder up that high (and you see how much gasoline they are over on). Don't you think DNA should have paid for this service? Can we bill DNA now?Now that the Windsor has shut, Connor's Fish shop shut, other places that couldn't succeed, what do you think is up with that? Someone said New Albanians just aren't willing to support down town businesses. Yeah, right. Word on the street is Studios is next. They stopped making payroll and if you want to work there you have to work for tips only. Think they are next? I do.The chickens are coming home to roost and they sure are going to crap on a lot of people. Some deserve it, some don't.Another word on the street is John Mattingly is going to pay for a poll, or survey, to see if Doug can get re-elected. If he can't, guess who they are going to throw up for Mayor? Carl. Can you imagine? He's a worse nightmare than England and that's saying a mouthful.Anything you all would like to add? Feel free.

Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the secretary of state released this statement:

"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and close friends. We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family. On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhienbeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their wishes on this special day."

Want to play a game? I know of some pretty nasty "rental houses" that are registered at the assessors office, but the name on the deed is NOT who owns the house, many are buried under LLC's, names of deceased family members and so on.

Why isn't the Tribune investigating this information? The city needs a full time CPA and a Chief Financial Officer. I am afraid we are stuck with the four stooges running our city and all of us into the poor house.

There is a lady in town who was involved with Third Century. She recognized it was a scam and sued to get out of it. She can't talk because of a confidentiality clause to keep her mouth shut.

Those LLC's are a bitch, mon. The two guys in on it are the same ones who were in the paper with England touting they will be building those condos. One of them is a felon from California for running the same real estate scam -- it's called a PYRAMID SCHEME.

If you could just pull one card out of that pile all of it would come crashing down. This is from a real estate execute speaking here and I know what's going on with the boys and Doug.

Keep on plugging. Maybe you all can get this crap cleaned up. It's a shame the scam involves the most valuable real estate on Main Street.

We, as citizens, demand a full investigation by our city council into the matter on Main Street Property Taxes. I also found several properties under accessed. For example 620 E, Main Street, parcel number 22-05-00-200-774.000-008. How can they be paying $567.52? The assessor was out and as a taxpayer I would like some answers not from other ill-informed lazy lying officials.

Why don't we just recall this mayor. Can you imagine what his checkbook looks like? I'm no fan of Doug England's, at all, and I can think of plenty of Democrats and Republicans who would do a better job. Who knows what is going on with this bunch downtown? But for the love of God, if he's running again, vote him out. These back room deals are really making me sick!

Has anyone noticed how Coffey has rolled over and backed the mayor the past three weeks on votes. THAT IS BECAUSE ENGLAND HAS THEATENED TO RUN HIS WIFE SHELLI AGAINST HIM IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. FACT.

NOW HE HAS THE LAPDOGS--CAESAR AND GONDER-MESSER BECAUSE OF HIS TROUBLES-ZURCHMEIDE, BECAUSE HE WANTS PART OF THE SEJ CONTRACT-WITH COFFEY IN THE FOLD HE HAS HIS FIVE VOTES AGAIN FOR ANYTHING, WITH BENEDETTI IN RESERVE.

Those 50 some drugbusts are really turning out to be doozies. I am hearing an elected official is in the middle of it where someone rolled and they are singing their hearts out. Wonder who they rolled on in the process? Tribune SHOULD have field day with this one. Keith is liable to be prosecutor for life on this one.

If I was her I think I'd have to enter the witness protection program. She has been part and parcel and of the crookedness downtown and did a damn fine job of screwing a lot of people.

It's not like she needed the money, but prescription drugs like oxycodene, stolen property, gee, wouldn't you like to have that job?

This is why we always said look at the back of your property card and you would find out if you were an a, b or c based on your voting record. They have already gotten one out of the Clerk's office I guess she's singing too.

Who would have guessed? She is rolling on some mighty big people who have everything to lose so I wouldn't be surprised at anything that might happen now.

As far as I'm concerned maybe this will be what pulls that one card out of the deck and the rest of the crooks will fall. Even her husband is involved, stolen property you know.

Every dog has his day. I do feel this would have been swept under the rug if the Louisville Drug Task Force hadn't been involved. Will wonders never cease?!

And for the property mentioned who had all the renovations done and taxes stayed low she wouldn't allow Sillings nor Banet in her house. People like that just jack their taxes up and when they protest tell them to let them in to see if they're wrong. That's how you deal with the people who don't want to pay their share for their community they brag so much about.

McMahon says the property owners' names will be posted along with pictures and addresses. He says he's serving notice to property owners who fail to take action on eyesore properties.

Ten properties are already facing designation as blighted, which could lead to them being torn down. Fifty other properties are listed on the site, and McMahon says they're being targeted for blighted status by the city.

Saw that tweet on twitter with Mark Cassidy (IAMHOOSIER) talking about the trogs spreading rumors about Studios.

Well it wasn't a rumor and IAMHOOSIER needs to get down off of his high horse and stop calling people names. Very telling of his character, if he has one. Can't you ply him with some more of the brew so he can't open his uninformed mouth which accompanies his pea sized brain? And people wonder why people in this town can't get along.

When do you think it's going to break about our prescription druggie who works at the court house? Or is she still singing her heart out about everything she knows? I can hear her now, she's too unstable to go to prison. But, not to have wanted to run for a city office. Weiners boy, we have weiners!

It's interesting to me that we have yet another slimy blog where the 'leader' hides his/her identity. Maybe it's because you know that spewing out all this crap makes you sound like an uneducated fool and you don't want people to know who you are?

So, no apology for falsely accusing me. No acknowledgement of error. I think my character stands up very well in comparison. And, to boot, I sign my name to my comments and accusations and accept the consequences.
